Man! If I'm understanding your post correctly, ukelele strings must be able to stretch a LOT. Are you saying the uppermost string (typically tuned as the high G) can be tuned anywhere from a Low A all the way up to a High G? Will it still resonate at the slack A tuning? My wife brought me a...

Excellent. That's the BEST situation of all. You're right, SOUND as it relates to neighbors or family members is an important issue. Beyond that, consider the SPACE issue. GuitarRig4 provides dozens of guitar and bass amps and cabinets, and a huge number of effects/outboard gear...

Yes, the Squires are highly recommended and Yamaha Pacifica is my first choice for a "fat strat" (bridge humbucker and two single coil pickups). For now, I expect to receive my Cort Z42 in a couple of days. It has a coil-split feature that's supposed to provide a single-coil-like sound from...

I hear you, Tadpui. I don't have access to any real amplifiers, so I guess I don't recognize most limitations/shortcomings of this amp simulator software. Ignorance is bliss.:D I'm not focused on recreating specific amp/hardware sounds; I'm really looking for ways to produce my own ideas...

I know it seems upside down, but GuitarRig4 came as part of NI Komplete6--almost a freebie--and I'm shocked at the sounds I can get from it using just my acoustic guitar with ancient under-bridge piezo. I might be...hooked. Oh, and check your calender. It's 2011. Good idea. :D Blame the...

I agree, Scotti. I ordered a Z42 in Wine Red and am waiting for delivery. Everything I read about Cort is positive, and their specs + materials look outstanding, especially at such reasonable prices. A YouTube search on "Z42" turns up some very encouraging video "testimony". If my Z42 PLAYS...

MoreSound == I sent you a reply PM a couple of days ago. Haven't heard back yet...

I'm in central US. Looking for two Presonus EQ3B parametric equalilzers. Must work as new and at a fair price. Thanks, Tom

TelePaul == Excellent suggestion. Wow. A "Fat Strat" with a bridge humbucker and two single coils. And the price is right. I'll try to find one locally to play. I appreciate the assist very much. ido1957 == I hear you. Been there, done that. Restricted budget has me walking a very fine...

I need an electric guitar to use with Native Instruments GuitarRig 4 (DAW-based demo work in rock/pop styles, no power chords or shred). I'd like to purchase the least expensive model that will do the job. Don't want to pay for an extremely versatile guitar if the GR4's capabiliities can make a...

True but my RCA Days are over, and if I do buy more you know the new one's will just end up wherever the hell the rest of 'em are... :D I'll try to do some more looking around later today...

You guys are right, and I would have done that first except I don't have the conversion cables (the point of this thread). I could add a 1/4" adapter to the end of a standard RCA cable, but after not being able to locate any from my "collection", I came here to ask :DBTUSE QUESTI:DNS as Plan B...

It makes perfect sense, and thank you for once again "going to the mat" to provide truly useful and helpful information. I'm going to sell my 1980s demo gear, maybe as an intact "vintage collection" and based on your comments I think the venerable SAE 180 will have to be sold with the lot...

Thanks, all. Very helpful. The EQ in question is an SAE 180 with 16 dB boost/cut on each channel, impedance specs are as follows: Input impedance..........100K Ohms I read that as 100,000 Ohms Output impedance........500 Ohms I'm comparing it to and considering the Presonus EQ3B with the...

I have an old but very useful parametric equalizer from back in my Tascam analog days. It has RCA connectors, but my current PC interface (Presonus Firestudio Project) is all 1/4". If I use an RCA-to-TRS conversion cable LIKE THIS, will I experience any signal loss compared to two units both...

I'm SELLING the PortaStudio 244 that's the subject of this thread. It's December 26, 2010. I transferred my two cassettes worth of 1985 demo tracks to digital way back in June of this year. 'Been staring at the deck and procrastinating over building a protective shipping crate for it ever...

Good points, all. I agree that the 244 had excellent specs in its day (and still sounds VERY GOOD). I had purchased outboard dbx for my reel-to-reel TEAC A3340S. I was amazed to learn that the dbx was built into the 244 (those outboard dbx units weren't cheap!) And I had a Tascam Model 5...

Not sure if this is still the case, but when I ordered my parts, TEAC did not have the belts in stock. They were expected in 30 - 60 days, and were not TEAC original parts. Clearly the belts don't need to be TEAC-made in order to be of good quality. I only mention it to make clear that...

Hey, Mike. I tried a minor correspondence with that guy after the sale. Zero response. So I assume asking him for assistance in resolving your issue would return zero satisfaction. Sorry to hear this, but glad you worked around it. I'm kinda sorry I recommended Vintage Electronics so highly...
